About

Two-slice, buy-the-dip switching between 3x tech (TECL, TQQQ) and U.S. Treasuries (SHY, IEF, TLT). Uses recent S&P 500 volatility and a “what fell most” score to choose one fund per slice, then holds them 50/50, shifting toward bonds as volatility rises.
NutHow it works
Your money is split into two slices. Each slice first asks if the S&P 500 is calm, shaky, or stormy (based on recent choppiness). If calm, it buys the fund that fell most lately (RSI: lower = more recent losses) from two 3x tech funds (TECL, TQQQ) and a Treasury fund. If rough, slices park in safer Treasuries (short‑term SHY; in severe stress, long‑term TLT). The two picks are held 50/50 and switch only when these checks change.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~64% annualized return vs ~22% for S&P, Sharpe ~1.43, Calmar ~1.45. A two-sleeve, volatility-aware approach seeking higher upside with Treasury protection—at the cost of larger drawdowns.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
